After four hours of auction, almost all the treasures for sale were items used by Foundation Establishment cultivators. Lin Xiaofei simply watched silently without making a bid.

Meanwhile, Chen Shanren, who was standing to the side, made seven or eight bids and bought a bottle of Spirit Cloud Pills and a Foundation Establishment stage spell, Fiery Palm.

When the auction reached the two hundredth item, it was ten Grade Two Fire Dragon Grasses, which would be of great help to cultivators practicing fire-attribute immortal techniques.

Ten Grade 2 Fire Dragon Grass plants will be auctioned with a starting price of 200,000 low-grade spirit stones.

Lin Xiaofei's spatial bead was already full of first-grade spiritual herbs. He was also thinking about collecting second-grade spiritual herbs, since second-grade spiritual herbs were more difficult to buy than first-grade spiritual herbs.

Therefore, he became interested and immediately doubled his offer, asking for 400,000 low-grade spirit stones.

Lin Xiaofei's first bid was double the original price, causing the cultivators who were preparing to bid to fall silent. It was as if they could tell that the person who bid on the third floor was determined to win, so they all kept quiet.

Auctioneer Qingfeng Zhenren made consecutive bids, saying:

Four hundred thousand low-grade spirit stones for the first time!

"Four hundred thousand low-grade spirit stones, second time!"

"If no one makes another bid, these ten fire dragon grass plants will go to private room number two on the third floor."

Master Qingfeng glanced around and, seeing no one had made a bid, loudly proclaimed:

Four hundred thousand low-grade spirit stones, for the third time.

A short while later, a female cultivator at the seventh level of Qi Refining delivered the items to the private room where Lin Xiaofei was, and he handed the spirit stones to her.

Next, four or five hundred treasures appeared in succession. Although they were all relatively precious treasures, they were not of much use to Lin Xiaofei.

Therefore, he only looked at them and learned a little bit.

However, when the auction reached the seven hundredth item, there was a fifth-grade Golden Core stage spell called the Insight Technique.

It is said that once this art of perception is cultivated to perfection, it can double one's spiritual power and triple one's ability to perceive subtle details.

However, this spell only produces such effects when cultivated to the perfect level. Therefore, although many cultivators covet this Golden Core spell, it is extremely difficult to cultivate it to the perfect level.

As a result, almost no one made a bid. Lin Xiaofei thought for a moment and then made a bid directly, which allowed him to snag a bargain.

In addition, as more than seven hundred treasures were released, they gradually became precious natural materials, ores, and so on.

Especially when he saw the rare Grade 2 spiritual herb, Lin Xiaofei made multiple bids, each time crushing the other bidders, and finally won the rare Grade 2 spiritual herb on several occasions.

In this way, he bought more than a hundred second-grade spiritual herbs.

These second-grade spiritual herbs are a preparation for his future.

Next, Lin Xiaofei watched as one treasure after another was auctioned, continuing to wait for the appearance of the Grade Three Golden Core Immortal Technique and the Mysterious Wood Technique.

This immortal technique was his main purpose in coming here. He knew that the third-grade Golden Core immortal technique would definitely be the grand finale.

"The third-grade Xuanmu Wonder Method may not be much to the disciples of major sects, but it is an extremely valuable treasure to many independent cultivators and some families."

Last time, Chen Yuelong said that his young master spent 30 million low-grade spirit stones to buy a third-grade Golden Core Immortal Technique. Presumably, the price will be high this time as well.

However, I have seventy million low-grade spirit stones in my storage bag, which I obtained from the Lightning Giant Eagle. I think that should be more than enough to purchase a third-grade Golden Core Immortal Technique.”

Lin Xiaofei looked at the treasures that appeared on the auction stage and thought to himself.

Seventy million low-grade spirit stones is not something an ordinary person can afford. Even for many large cultivation families, taking out seventy million low-grade spirit stones at once would be a huge financial burden.

When the auction for the 950th treasure was about to begin, Lin Xiaofei's eyes lit up.

"The next treasure is a third-grade Golden Core Immortal Technique. I imagine that many Golden Core cultivators and many Foundation Establishment peak cultivators would want to bid for this Immortal Technique."

If a Foundation Establishment Peak cultivator were to acquire this immortal technique and cultivate it directly, they could use it to break through their cultivation realm, and the effect would be much better, since it is a Grade 3 Golden Core Immortal Technique.

Of course, if a Golden Core cultivator acquires this immortal technique, it's equivalent to gaining another immortal technique.

"Fellow Daoists, let's show some enthusiasm, I'm about to start the bidding."

"A Grade Three Golden Core Immortal Technique, the Mysterious Wood Technique. Starting bid: 15 million low-grade spirit stones."

As Master Qingfeng spoke, a person standing to the side held a wooden tray of spiritual materials in both hands, on which lay a jade slip that shimmered with spiritual light.

Master Qingfeng glanced around and saw that everyone below was staring intently at the jade slip. He couldn't help but smile slightly and said loudly, "

Bidding begins.

"Fifteen million low-grade spirit stones!"

"Sixteen million low-grade spirit stones!"

"Seventeen million low-grade spirit stones!"

Many Foundation Establishment Peak cultivators offered their bids, and the bidding was fierce. In a short time, the bids reached 20 million low-grade spirit stones.

Lin Xiaofei glanced at the crowd and, feeling that they were being too slow in bidding, directly called out his own bid:

Thirty million low-grade spirit stones.

Immediately, many of the Foundation Establishment Peak cultivators who had made bids paused, shook their heads, and did not continue to bid.

Thirty million low-grade spirit stones, the same price as the third-grade Golden Core Immortal Technique that appeared last time, left the Foundation Establishment Peak cultivator speechless.

"Who's so arrogant as to ask for an extra ten million low-grade spirit stones right off the bat? How are we supposed to bid like this?"

"Keep your voice down. Raising the price by ten million low-grade spirit stones in one go is probably only something a Golden Core cultivator could do. Keep your voice down, don't offend rich people."

Some of the monks on the first floor were whispering among themselves.

"Brother, that voice is still coming from private room number two on the third floor. It seems like they're determined to get it. This price is a bit beyond our expectations."

In a private room on the second floor, Jin Shuiwu frowned and quickly spoke to a middle-aged cultivator beside him.

He and his elder brother were both rogue cultivators in the late Golden Core stage. Although they had some reputation outside, they mostly earned spirit stones by hunting second-tier demonic beasts.

Their net worth wasn't very high to begin with; the two of them together were worth only 40 million low-grade spirit stones.

If they were to take out 30 million low-grade spirit stones at once, they would only have 10 million low-grade spirit stones left, which would be far from enough for the two of them.

"Brother, do you think we should offer another price?"

Seeing that his elder brother remained silent, Jin Shuiwu quickly said:

"If we don't make an offer soon, we'll miss out on this Grade Three Golden Core Immortal Technique."

"Three million and one hundred thousand low-grade spirit stones!"

The eldest brother, Jin Shuiren, gritted his teeth and loudly quoted a price.

If they manage to acquire this Grade 3 Golden Core Immortal Technique, the two of them can cultivate it together, and their strength will increase together.

Therefore, their combined strength will be even greater, making it easier to hunt second-tier monsters together and earn more spirit stones.
